Oreo Workout

3 weeks ago I started getting up early and exercising. I love it. I feel great all day.

We recently aquired satelite TV. While surfing through the channels I came accross FitTV. All day exercise programming. Whoo Hoo.

I tuned into the channel this morning (after my regular session) I sat on the couch, watched these people really working out.

I ate Oreo's. :)

Fishing - My way and His way

This summer we went "Up North" for a week, as in a family vacation. Most Mud Duck's like to fish among other water sports since we have so much of it. I don't get a whole lot of enjoyment from fishing. I think the Fish Hot Line puts out the word when I'm around and they all steer clear of my line because I never and I mean never catch a fish.

Have you ever fished with a 2 and 4 yo who cannot sit still for a minute. Nor can they even stop talking for a nano second. One will be in the cooler digging out ice cubes to throw while the other is flipping switches for the blower motor, the horn and whatever else is on the instrument panel. This does not make for a relaxing time and 20 minutes into it I'm ready to jump in the lake and never come up for air. I definitely do not go for that kind of fishing.

In keeping with the title of this post, here is fishing his way;

Pull out a fat slimy worm
Stick a hook through it few times
Cast
Catch
Reel in
Pry hook out of equally slimy but also floppy fish's mouth
Either keep or pitch back
Repeat over
and over
and over again

Fishing my way. (Also referred to as the RIGHT way)

Tune radio to a station that plays some rockin songs
Turn the volume way up (a treat as never listen to music loud for fear of ruining kids hearing)
Shed all clothing except way to skimpy bikini that wouldn't be caught dead in typically
Slather on the SPF50 (cause have to admit am getting older, don't want more wrinkles)
Dig through cooler for ice cold Barcardi Breezer
Stretch out at opposite end of boat from husband
Lay back and shut eyes
Hope to make appropriate noises when husband catches "the big one".

Now that is the only way to fish!!!

Back.......but for how long?

Yes as I have stated before, I suck at blogging. My last post was over 5 months ago. I guess I should consider it an accomplishment that I still have this blog.

So what has been happening in Mud Duck land you may ask. (And if you aren't, quit reading now because you are about to find out)

I think I will tell of one major thing that happened in 5 months today. Then I will tell another thing tomorrow. That way I'll have to keep coming back and posting because I wouldn't want to let all of you down. (yes I'm assuming someone is reading this)

The family and I went to Orlando this summer. Labor Day weekend to be exact. And it was H O T! In the past we have always visited when there is still snow on the ground and a "-" in front of the high temp of the day in Mud Duck land. So we were in love with FL. I always thought it was sunny and in the 80's with no humidity to speak of. (I regularly bury my head in the sand)

So this time around it was in the mid 90's and with the humidity the heat index was 105 give or take a few. This is how every day went that we were there. Blistering hot by 8:00 a.m. - Not fit for humans by noon, thunderstorms that made you want to run for your life at 2:00, freaking hot again and even more humid by 5:00.

When we finally arrived in Mud Duck land it was 88 degrees and it felt like a breath of fresh air. We will stick to February, March and November for our FL va-ca's.
